Local sport and recreation clubs across the Coffs Coast are being urged to apply for a share of $50,000 in funding through the 2025 NSW Local Sport Grant Program, Coffs Harbour Nationals MP Gurmesh Singh has announced.
Mr Singh said the program is designed to strengthen grassroots sport by increasing participation, improving access, and enhancing facilities across local communities.
“It is so important we continue supporting our local sporting clubs. They are the lifeblood of our communities and key to ensuring our kids live a healthy and happy lifestyle,” Mr Singh said.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for local clubs to boost participation, upgrade equipment, or improve facilities that support community sport. Grassroots sport plays a vital role in the physical and mental wellbeing of our region, and this funding can make a real difference.”
Grants of between $2,000 and $20,000 are available to incorporated, not-for-profit sport and active recreation clubs and associations. Each electorate has access to $50,000 in funding, and applications will be assessed through a competitive process.
Applications close at 1pm on Monday, 18 August 2025, with successful recipients announced in March 2026. Projects must be completed by September 2027.
“I strongly encourage local clubs to take this opportunity and apply now” Mr Singh added.
“You’ve got to be in it to win it – visit sports.nsw.gov.au for full details.”
